Cylinder rim locks (also called Yale locks)
The majority of internal or front door locks are cylinder locks. Such a door lock automatically locks once the door is shut and you require a key to open it from the outside. However, if it opens from the inside without a key, you have a Yale lock. If you have lost the keys to a cylinder rim lock, the locksmith Service in Clayfield will change the lock’s cylinder.
Window locks
One in about three burglaries happens through a window, therefore opt for fitting high visibility locks on the windows, therefore if the glass on the window is broken, the burglar still can’t open the window and will risk injury if he attempts climbing through the broken window. Window locks must be fitted to windows that are easily accessed, for instance downstairs or next to drainpipes or flat roofs.
Clayfield is an inner northern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) from the Brisbane CBD. Clayfield is bordered to the north by Nundah, to the east by Ascot and Hendra, to the west by Wooloowin and to the south by Albion.
Its name derives from the fine white-grey sedimentary clay mined in Albion, between Morgan and Sykes Street, used in the brickworks that once existed between Oriel Road and Reeve Street near Sandgate Road. This industry, once known as “the clay fields”, was instrumental in the residential surge of European settlement of inner-north Brisbane.
